In my last post I said that gamin's reply didn't help. That was incorrect!

As a result of his post I found http://standards.freedesktop.org/ and within that is basedir-spec. This showed me places to look and I've now found my missing menu information in one of the files in ~/.cache/xfce4/desktop/.

Many thanks, gamin.

Thanks to gamin for the reply but it doesn't help.

First of all, I have no file archives.desktop (I presume that is what `archives. desktop' means in his message).

Finally, the menudefs.hook is a .xml file with `<menu ...> profusely scattered throughout looking very different from the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications.

Hi.The rest of the elements that displays the menu sorted by categories correspond to the archives. desktop to be found in /usr/share/applications.The structure of these files is governed by the rules of freedesktop.

I'm running Xfce-4.4.2 on a GNU/Linux Debian unstable system.

Right clicking on the desktop shows me the Desktop menu that currently has 16 items on it, ignoring separators. When I invoke Xfce4-MenuEditor I see a corresponding list but this has only 9 items. The file corresponding to this is in ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml. I'm looking for the files containing the rest.

Within the list from Xfce4-MenuEditor there is a pair of lines that correspond to the missing bits. The first is `--- include --- system' and the second is `--- include --- menudefs.hook'. I've been able to find the second at /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menudefs.hook because of its strange name but I'm stumped with the first.
